Our Cats after Release:    

1.     Pilot Point:  Heidi, Arlo, Jada, Jazz, King, and Prince went to this horse farm.  They got out of the horse stall (fully enclosed, we thought!) after only a couple of days but the workers are seeing 5 out of 6 – so all is good.    

2.     Plano:  Rambo and Robin went to this backyard with a swimming pool, barn, and tennis courts.  Rambo has made friends with the family dog and now they play and sleep together.  Ahhhhhh!  Robin is “roaming” but has been spotted.       

3.     McKinney:  Sadie, Mandy, and Rocky went to this horse barn.  All have stuck around – GOOD JOB, PEOPLE!   …and no more rodent droppings.

4.     Haslet:  Jett and Milo went into this shed.  Both have been spotted on the property and the rodent populations is down. 

5.     Lucus:  Jane and Cisco went to this goat farm.  Both are still there and Jane is now friendly – who knew!  

Calls/Emails:  Hurricane Harvey Cats

It has finally happened….hurricane cats!  These were evacuated from the Houston shelter BEFORE the weather got bad.  The SPCA of Texas received 50!  Yikes!  5 were deemed unadoptable so given to Barn Cats, Inc.  I placed 3 in a shed in Grapevine where they can be safe and hopefully happy. 

BMG:   Bobcat – SCARY! 

Received this picture from a “neighborhood” in the city – not a country location.  I can do without these creatures roaming around – for sure! 

OMG:  Hurricane Irma Cats

On Saturday, I received a text from a local rescue group that is receiving 40 cats from Florida who were Irma cats.  Two are feral (I will bet more – but we shall see) and I will be getting them when the transport arrives the first of next week.
